Article 28 explained in plain English
This article governs issuing the Implementing Regulations of the Law, which are the Regulations to which the Law refers for setting the details, as in Article 27.
Its provisions:
- Who issues the Regulations: The official, who under Article 1 is the head of the competent authority.
- The period: Within 90 days of the date of the Law's publication in the Official Gazette.
- The date they take effect: The Regulations take effect from the date the Law takes effect, so they apply together with it at the same time.
Note that the article sets the body that issues the Regulations, the period for issuing them and the date they take effect, and does not contain the provisions of the Regulations themselves; their content is to be consulted in their text once issued.
This article comes after Article 27, which refers to the Regulations for setting the financial fee for the competent authority's services, and before Article 29, which provides for repealing any provisions that conflict with the Law.
Anyone who needs the details of applying any provision that the Law refers to the Regulations should refer to the text of the Regulations themselves, or consult a lawyer who specializes in real estate cases.
